SAT Special Functions

SAT SCR:

This function lets you control and verify the SCR LNB installation by checking the correct
signal reception at each one of the LNBs RF outputs via the spectrum analyzer or the
SAT measurement interface.

DUAL FEED LNB:

This function enables the user to verify the installation of a Dual Feed LNB dish, that
can be either 9&13, 13&19 or 19&23 or others; if the installation type is set to
VARIABLE the user can perform the test on a couple of independent
plans, at choice among those available in the meter.

DiSEqC MOTOR:

This function allows the user to control motorized dishes by moving the motor via DiSEqC
commands. The control can be done using either the spectrum analyzer or the SAT
measurement interface.

SAT FINDER:

This function allows the user to determine the correctness of the dish pointing by
detecting three transponders among those composing the requested
satellite.

BUZZER & NOISE MARGIN GRAPH:

This function could be activated on Satellite and Terrestrial canalizations. Its main
AIM is to provide the user with a real time GRAPHIC diagram of the Noise Margin vs
time. The measurement is also associated with a buzzer, synthesizing a tone the intensity
of which is proportional to the signal quality.

SAT POINT:

The AIM of this function is to automatically set all spectrum parameters to facilitate dish
pointing operations; the MAX HOLD & LIVE function guarantees perfect pointing at the
maximum signal strength direction.

SATEXPERT FUNCTION: (Option)

Advanced universal SAT pointer, the faster & accurate SAT FINDER (with electronic
compass opt.)
